DOGE Beyond Memes: How State Governments Are Driving Efficiency and Cutting Wasteful Spending in 2025

Gov Efficiency Beyond the Meme: Is DOGE Thinking at Work?

Listeners, the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE—coined by Elon Musk and embraced by President Trump—promised to slash federal waste like a viral meme coin. But as of late 2025, it's facing a reality check far from the hype. Musk's federal DOGE shut down last month after less than a year, delivering far short of its $2 trillion savings goal. When Musk stepped away in April, he scaled back to just $150 billion for fiscal 2026—a figure experts like the Partnership for Public Service call wishful, estimating $135 billion in added costs this year alone from lawsuits, IRS staffing cuts potentially losing $500 billion in tax revenue over a decade, and slashed research funding, according to Observer UK reports.

Yet DOGE thinking endures at the state level. Florida's DOGE initiative, launched by Governor Ron DeSantis via Executive Order 25-44 and Chapter 2025-199, targets local spending, university inefficiencies, and agency bloat using AI and data analytics. It has already repurposed or canceled $18.4 million in discriminatory federal grants to universities, with more under review, as detailed by James Madison Institute senior advisor Eric Soskin. Over half of Florida's counties and dozens of municipalities have rallied behind it, adopting guides like "How to DOGE Yourself" for zero-based budgeting. Palm Beach County officials recently discussed its ripple effects on youth services and prekindergarten funding amid property tax scrutiny, per WLRN News.

Meanwhile, the meme lives on in crypto: Dogecoin, whose acronym sparked the buzz, boasts a $20 billion market cap and projections to hit $0.25 by end-2025 or even $5 by 2030 if adoption grows, fueled by low fees, Starlink integrations like RadioDoge, and Grayscale's trust, as analyzed by 99Bitcoins and MEXC.

DOGE's federal flop underscores that Silicon Valley speed doesn't fix government overnight, but state adaptations prove efficiency principles can cut real waste—beyond the jokes.
